More regular cyclists across the county means healthier communities, more visitors, a stronger and more productive economy and a better environment

An ambitious draft Derbyshire Cycling Plan that aims to make the county most 'connected' in the country has been unveiled.

The plan has been written and supported by all local authorities, British Cycling, Derbyshire Sport, Peak District National Park Authority, University of Derby, Sustrans and the National Forest Company in a bid to double the number of cyclists by 2025.

Greater participation across Derbyshire will result in healthier communities, more visitors, a stronger and more productive economy and a better environment.
